Summary:	This publication introduces a never before exhibited series of works by the late British artist John Latham (1921-2006). The group of work - called Canvas Events - features spray painted and twisted canvas on wooden stretchers. The works challenge the conventional relationship between canvas and stretcher, turning the traditional site of the painting into a sculptural field. Latham often worked with spray paint; describing the dotted sprinkled result as miniature universes
